《Of Missing Persons》歌词

[00:00:00] Of Missing Persons - Jackson Browne

[00:00:20] Your father was a rounder

[00:00:25] He played that rock and roll

[00:00:30] A leaper and a bounder

[00:00:34] Down to his gypsy soul

[00:00:39] The music was his angel

[00:00:44] And sorrow was his star

[00:00:49] And those of us who follow

[00:00:54] Might hope to reach as far

[00:00:59] They're walking slow in Houston

[00:01:04] Speechless in D C

[00:01:09] There's no way I could tell you

[00:01:12] What he meant to me

[00:01:19] Your mother's a survivor

[00:01:23] She'll do what must be done

[00:01:28] Her children will revive her

[00:01:33] And help her see the sun

[00:01:38] She almost knew that unison

[00:01:43] But the singing stopped too soon

[00:01:48] Now she shares the silence

[00:01:53] With a man up in the moon

[00:01:58] To speak of missing persons

[00:02:03] Tonight there's only one

[00:02:07] And we all carry with us what the man's begun

[00:02:15] And you can sing this song

[00:02:21] On July the fourth

[00:02:25] In the sunny South and the frozen North

[00:02:35] It's a day of loss it's your day of birth

[00:02:44] Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth

[00:02:54] Your brothers are all older

[00:02:59] And they'll take it in their stride

[00:03:04] The world's a little colder

[00:03:09] But manhood's on their side

[00:03:14] Now you're the little girl child

[00:03:19] And you look so much like him

[00:03:24] And he's right there inside you

[00:03:28] Each time you want to sing

[00:03:33] Sing of missing persons

[00:03:38] Tonight there's only one

[00:03:43] But he's where you can find him when it's said and done

[00:03:51] And we will sing this song

[00:03:56] On July the fourth

[00:04:01] From the sunny South and the frozen North

[00:04:10] This will always be your day of birth

[00:04:20] May you always see what your life is worth

[00:05:27] Sing a song on July the fourth

[00:05:35] In the sunny South and the frozen North

[00:05:44] It's a day of loss it's your day of birth
